Tens of thousands of people joined in Saturday's "march for change," called by the Podemos party to stake out its position as the political alternative to the center-right Popular Party, or PP, and vowed to fight to recover the sovereignty of the people.

Demonstrators marched through downtown Madrid to Puerta del Sol, the square where in 2011 the so-called "indignados" gathered, victims of the economic crisis and critical of the government's austerity-based reforms.
